Roger Cave | 11 comments Medusa Defence
The murder of a politician sends Fincham on a chase to find Medusa, a world famous model. He has to find out what she knows, and protect her from those who want the information she has.

The novel is partially set in Cairns, where I spent some time on a visit. A stunning area of the world, and an ideal setting for Fincham to have an adventure.

Roger Cave | 11 comments Hi all
At the moment I'm having to study for an exam, so the writing is taking a bit of a back seat. Fincham will return though, in Accelerated Dragon.

In the meantime, here's what Fincham is all about, and a list of the books in order (although they don't have to be read that way).

Alec Fincham is part of the SBS, he’s based out of Poole in Dorset. His missions have taken him to America (Florida), Egypt, Australia, Singapore, Afghanistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Sicily and Italy, Crete, Ukraine, Libya, Oman, Abu Dhabi, Venezuela and Germany.

Due to his military record, Fincham is seconded to the Special Operation Department of M.I.6. as a man of last resort. Although he is part of the Special Boat Service, he takes his orders from Sir Charles Cunningham at Vauxhall Cross.

He, and his team, have been selected to take on terrorists, drugs and arms dealers, mercenaries seeking revenge, and pirates.

They travel the world, and they are constantly in danger. They place their lives on the line, so that we may lead a better way of life.

The books are action\adventure based, with a little investigation, espionage, and combat thrown in. The reviews have been positive, so if the sound like your thing, then give them a try. You can also ask questions around the books and I'll attempt to answer them.

And the books, of course (£1.00/$1.00 and up).

The Barcza Gambit
Sicilian Defence
White King
Zugzwang
Octopus Knight
Medusa Defence
Deep Blue
Grand Prix Variation
Queen's Knight
Snake Variation
Torre Attack
Monticelli Trap

Thanks all for taking the time to read

Roger Cave | 11 comments Before the release of book 14, Accelerated Dragon, why don't you take the chance to take in some of Alec Fincham's earlier adventures.

The Barcza Gambit - Someone wants to keep the Americans in Iraq, and they have a plan of how they are going to do it.
Sicilian Defence - The Sicilian Mafia are smuggling people out of North Africa, and they non too bothered about the threat these people could pose.
White King - Fincham has to Venezuelan drug king, who has targeted the Royal Navy after some drug seizures. This is going to be far more complex than Fincham ever thought possible.
Zugzwang - In an attempt to strike back at the people who killed his boy, a man hatches a plot to kill 500,000 Iraqis.
Octopus Knight - Drugs and arms are being smuggled out of the Ukraine, and Fincham has to tackle the problem in the wastelands of Chernobyl.
Medusa Defence - Fincham is sent to babysit a glamour mode,l who had a close relationship with an MP. Fincham has to travel half way round the world to protect her.
Deep Blue - A giant, blue diamond sets off a chain of events. Death and destruction follow this stone, wherever it goes.
Grand Prix Variation - An IT specialist who develops kit for the military, and owns a GP Team, is targeted by terrorists. Does Fincham protect the man, the team, or go after the threat directly?
Queen's Knight - Fincham has to travel to Egypt in an attempt to rescue a woman. However, little does he know, but the chain of events started much closer to home.
Snake Variation - During the Arab Spring, Fincham is sent to Libya to intercept a rogue SAS Team. In a country so fractured, Fincham has threats coming at him from all sides.
Torre Attack - Quinto Angelito Torre is a man not to be meddled with. He's a crime boss, drug lord, and a collector of antiquities. Fincham has a simple task, watch him! But as he gets closer to the target, things suddenly spiral out of control.
Monticelli Trap - Fincham returns to Italy, but his reputation proceeds him. Suddenly his short vacation becomes a living nightmare.
Red Queen - The British Government is given the chance to bid on a rare selection of diamonds. However, that's not what everyone is actually buying. Fincham must obtain the diamonds, but the Russians, Chinese, and Israelis will quite happily kill him to get to the diamonds first.

There's plenty of action, with both Fincham, and his team, running around the globe protecting British interests, and protecting his Government.

Roger Cave | 11 comments Hi all

I have a new book out in pre-order, with a release date of the 16th August.

Alec Fincham begins an investigation into the deaths of a number of soldiers who were part of a military patrol in Afghanistan. However, his handler is contacted by the Russians who believe they know why the soldiers were killed, but they also want Fincham's help.

Can he trust them, and even if he can, what do they want from him?

Roger Cave | 11 comments Alec Fincham is seconded to MI6 to investigate, and terminate, any actions which may not be in the best interests of his country.

He travels the world, often getting himself, and his small team from the Special Boat Service, in hot water.

Ultimately, he has to place himself in harm's way to get the job done, and once he starts a mission, he has to see it through, no matter what.
